STITCH ME. DEADLY by Amanda Lee--All my favorite characters are back in this second installment of the Seven Year Stitch embroidery shop mysteries. Shop owner, Marcy Singer, has survived the investigation of a dead body in her new shop and is continuing to make friends in the small town of Tallulah Falls, Oregon. Shes still undecided about her feelings for shop owner, Todd, or the handsome detective, Ted. Her Hollywood costume designing mom is visiting too. All is going beautifully until an elderly lady comes into the Seven Year Stitch with an antique sampler, wanting to find ivy . No sooner had she sat down and made her request, then she fell over, was taken to the hospital and died. Now Marcy must get herself out of being a suspect in another murder . This time she figures she must follow the money to see who benefits from this nice old ladys death. Shes sure that the sampler holds the solution to the crime. I really enjoy the needlework references, Marcys Irish Wolfhound, and the interaction of Marcy and her two suitors, in these stories. Especially interesting in these mysteries are the references to old movies and TV shows. After all, the shops name comes from a play on the movie, The Seven a Year Itch, and her shops mascot is a full sized mannequin named, Jill, who looks just like the movies star, Marilyn Monroe. Especially fun in this book is Marcys mom. Good clues and a fun mystery.
